My significant other is involved in journalism, and I was hoping I could ask you all for some help finding a good book related to journalism. My SO's main interest lies in public broadcasting, and my SO already has the Sound Reporting book by NPR. One virtue my SO tries to adhere to is using journalism to educate and better the world. An example is Sesame Street (not journalism, but using public broadcasting to educate and create a better world).

Does anyone know of any books that might include pieces of the above? Any books about Sesame Street (for adults...)? Any other books about public broadcasting?

I wouldn't go for a book. As a journalist, I hate getting them as gifts.I much prefer buying my own, and only when they've been recommended to me by other writers I respect.
Is she into Hunter Thompson, or maybe Tom Wolfe? They were both famous writer/journalists, so maybe some of their books would make a great gift.
But if you're looking for a no-fail journalism gift-hard liquor works everytime.
